An Apology

[BPTactical]

You know with a certain thread that won't die regarding a reality show I realized that my comments regarding such establishment have been, well unprofessional at the least.
I made the mistake of allowing my personal feelings towards a particular individual interfere with better judgment.
I am a better person than that and I will trust that the work that leaves my hands leave testament to quality work than juvenile comments regarding another establishment and employees/proprietor.

To the great members of this forum I hereby formally apologize for said comments.

Bah- humbug!![NoEvil]

[Big Wall]

Shut up! I thought we were all here to talk!

[rondog]

C'mon Bert, get back on the dogpile, it's fun!

Seriously, I hear ya , and you da man for making the statement.

[Mazin]

Trust me everyone here knows your services far exceed thiers and you more than most have a right to bag on them for it.

i completely understand , its hard to separate the work end of this site from the play . i find that when im about to really speak my mind ill first walk away for a few. then if im still heated ill type everything i have to say and the walk away few a few more . after coming back i read and edit then walk away again , usually when i come back the third time im over it or i close that window and go do something else .

i had a little spat with a former member and after the fact i felt pretty dumb . not only did i get a slap on the pee pee (via pm ) but i realized that i had stooped to a level that does not reflect well on my business . unfortunately being personally right or wrong has no place and does not matter when we count on these fine folks for business . believe me when i say its hard to stay neutral, passive and even tempered , without wondering if people see you as a weak person or a pushover .

ill offer you this mister burt , next time you think your gonna let someone have it or type something you might regret give me a call and vent . i dont care if you yell, cuss or hell you can even call me names i dont care . if it will help my favorite gunsmith out the please do call.

For that particular place, NO APOLOGY NECESSARY IMHO.

I didnt nor would think any less of you as a great person concerning your opinion of said place etc.

You still have my business when I get things in order and get back to buying firearms etc.

[Guylee]

I don't really think anything you said was particularly out of line, but I appreciate the sentiment.

[stevelkinevil]

Good on you man. Although Its apparent we all pretty much agree with your comments, it shows great professionalism to call yourself out on this.

[sneakerd]

Just don't call me to vent. I'd probably get mad too and really start pissy-posting to whoever pissed you off!

[glock21]

Your a good man Bert. There are some threads on here that I would love to go off on, I have enough drama in my real world life and would like to have a happy place so to speak to come too with no drama, if that makes any sense lol.

[SideShow Bob]

Oh holy BEJEBUS ! What is this world coming to ? Now even Bert has gone all PC on us.

I don't see anything wrong with what you said. I have never dealt with them and with all the feedback from the great members here I know for certain I will never step foot in their door.

I don't see a need for the apology, but thank you and others for their advice and guidance to steer others away from a poorly run business. there is nothing better and nothing worse in advertising than word of mouth.

No worries, we all make mistakes in our personal behavior, thanks for stepping up. I know Rich and he is who he is. I like to stop by his place when I am down south and look around, lots of neat stuff to see. They won't work on my guns anymore though.

Next trip south on a work day I will make it by your shop and say hello.

Thanks again.
